Being Heard

1372) During any school day, my name must be called out no fewer than 100 times. It is not unusual to hear it shouted out by two or three kids at once. When this happens, I will often say, “One at a time, please,” and the kids compete against each other as to who I

Belonging

1372) When I was in high school, I shared with someone I was acquainted with that I liked a particular band.

I wondered why people wear

No More Dentists!

1371) I really dislike going to the dentist. (Sorry to my readers who may be in this profession, but I’m sure you’ve heard this many times.) It just seems that whenever I go, a lot of pain (and money) is involved. Recently, I have had to go because I broke a tooth. Having a root

Great Expectations

Like Christmas, God gives his children gifts. These might be

Neighborhood Watch

1366) Anyone who owns a dog knows you do not have to teach it to bark when someone shows up at your house. In my home, my little dog hates the plow guy. Anytime he comes to move the snow off our long driveway, my dog’s hackles rise, he pulls his ears back, and I

An Eye on You

1365) From time to time, we’ll watch a program where someone is looking to buy a home, usually on the beach. These buyers will frequently say they want a property where they will be able to keep their eyes on their kids from the house while the kids are out playing in the sand. This

Your Heart’s Reflection

1364) I was getting my car serviced recently and while I was waiting, a car pulled into a space that caused a bright reflection of the sun to bounce off the glass and into my eyes. It amazed me how bright the reflection was, even though it wasn’t directly from its source. It reminded me
